That is exactly what I learned as well. hot fast for little short stroke n/a gas is the platinum. single electrode only, no crazy stuff. I slapped them in a 23 yr old egr'd to damn near death subaru...(if you use your brain and take deep breathes, you too can realize what egr does....)
and it till has the same bosch platinums, several years. I got confident enough, I even kept used ones.
